Therein73 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) Just seen the website announcement about the Reunion Dinner celebrating 50 years since our Championship triumph ......... Got me thinking about the 'squad' players from that season as well as the fifteen who actually played in the Final .......... I've come up with: Graham BELL Keith VOYCE Alan CHILD Jeff YOWARD Steve LANE Steve HANKIN Can anyone think of any others??............. and wouldn't it be great if we could track them down (if they're still with us) and get them along on the night.

Wakefield Ram Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Think Jeff Yoward was in the team wasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therein73 Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 I don't think Jeff Yoward featured after the Bradford CC Semi-Final defeat....... Terry Day took his place and wore No.5 in the Final .............. He was one of just two of that team to play in a Wembley Final later in his career ..... The other being Alan Agar. Steve Hankin also played at Wembley but wasn't in the actual 15 on the day vs Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always felt that after Roger Millward was carried off in the 1980 final the most influential player on the field was Alan Agar. He managed the game for HKR, keeping Hull FC in their own territory for much of the game. He should have taken the Lance Todd trophy but he was never quite the glory boy who would have won such accolades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
